If you are ever in the Bluff City area, which is right outside of Bristol, Tennessee. I would definitely recommend going to check out this Hidden Gem.
Back Yard Terrors Dinosaur Park
It is in Bluff City Tennessee, not far from the Bristol Motor Speedway.
Adults and kids will be so amazed at this privately owned, outdoor walk through museum.
This is a free attraction that accepts donations. If you don’t have cash, you can PayPal or Venmo them! I would highly recommend giving them a donation.
They work so hard on this place. They ask for a minimum of $5 a person, but to me it is worth more than that.
The tours are self guided and they have a pretty big parking lot. This park is on private property and right next to the owners home. I was so excited to see this place and I honestly thought this was going to be pretty cheesy. But after we got into it. I was so amazed. I had no idea how big this place was.
We saw almost 100 dinosaurs big and small. To think these people build these dinosaurs and open up their property to others is amazing!
The kids loved all the exhibits they had and fun toys to play on.
They definitely loved the playground.
We were amazed at the huge walking path filled with dinosaurs. We saw so many! We even had fun taking all kinds of scary photos with the dinosaurs.
We thought we would be here for just a few mins but ended up spending an hour and a half exploring.
They had a dig zone area, where you can learn about fossils and just so much to take in. You can tell they have put a lot of work into this place.
They even had a gift shop at the end of your experience that had tons of dinosaur toys and they literally operate on the honor system, so no employees were in there. You just pay for your items via cash in the donation box or through PayPal or Venmo
This is definitely a hidden gem in East Tennessee and I hope everyone will go and support this fun and educational small business.
